similar to: WINS, must be master browser?

The browsing capability in Network Neighborhood disppears periodically. Usually, double-clicking on Network Neighborhood gives us a list of all the NT and Unix/samba boxes on the network segment (i.e. in the Workgroup). When browsing disppears, all we see is *Entire Network*, which has nothing in it. We run a unix/NT network with 6 unix servers and about 80 NT clients. We are running NT

Hi all, I have a machine running Samba (2.0.5a/Solaris 7) which is supposed to be the master browser from my domain. It's been running fine for a couple of weeks. But today it seems that some of the NT workstations are overriding it in elections and are becoming the master browsers (and the Samba server is giving up). I've SIGKILL'ed the nmbd processes, but after they wake up they

Hi All: I'm facing a weird behavior with Samba 3.5.10. It's a CentOS 6.3 repository RPM. Samba is acting as a PDC and integrated with OpenLDAP 2.4.23, also a CentOS RPM, through smbldap-tools 0.9.3 (from EPEL). In my network I have Windows 7 64 bits and Windows 7 32 bits. The problem is that Samba is losing local master browser 'status' to Win7 32 bits machines. From time to

Hi list, I have a network with a Linux server, running samba 2.2.x, and 10 Workstation. 3 of the workstation are Win2000 and the rest is Win98 and WinME. In the logfiles I see that every 10 Minutes the Win2000 Workstations are forcing a election to become the local master browser for the network. The server wins the election each time but there is still a small amount of time (maybe 4 minutes)

Hello! Can anybody tell me what is the meaning of following logs (/var/log/messages).

Hi Andrew, I have upgraded recently samba1.9 to samba2.2.5. At the weekend there was an unexpected shutdown, during that time samba machine upgraded itself to Master Browser, earlier it was an NT 4.0 machine. Now when I rebooted the NT machine, both NT machine and samba machine are considering themselves Master Browser. I want only NT to be master browser. How I can disable samba to act as

Hi I asked about if there is any way of opening URLs from the help browser in the same window of the same dillo browser - here is the answer. Just to reiterate: dillo is for me the perfect browser for the help of R when you use ?...

I am sharing some of my personal videos on a local network via Ubuntu 9.10/Samba 3.42 on my wired PC to wireless Windows XP and Vista users with a 802.11g router in between. Some of the movies can stream fast enough to watch uninterrupted, while others seem to skip often. I searched online to see any optimization techniques and found this is a popular one for the /etc/samba/smb.conf file:

After perusing the Samba 3.x docs and purchasing Terpstra's and Vernooij's excellent Samba-3 Howto, I am still unclear on LDAP authentication. Not a Windows admin so please bear with me. 1) Regarding the Samba schema, is there a tool to extract the Windows client information (sid, etc.) for populating an LDIF? Raymond

Hello Samba; I am aware this was a problem years ago... This week I turned up a brand new server to replace an embarrassingly old one. The problem has re-occurred. I expected this to be a problem long ago fixed. I have made the following registry edit to the offending XP machine and restarted Samba. I hope it sticks. I have two questions: 1) Have I missed something in the configuration?

Hi again, Kind of sheepish about asking for help, as I have only spent a day banging my head off this... I got my new Welltech 3701a, 1FXS,1FXO gateway. I flashed it with what is seemingly the appropriate firmware (SIP V1.04). This seems to have gone ok, and it is now registering both ports ok with asterisk. For 1 minute I thought I was home free and and everything was just going to work

Hello everybody. I've been trying for weeks to find a solution for my problem, but since I couldn't find anything, here I am. I manage a network of about 200 PCs, 90% windows XP and Vista, 10% linux. A samba server is located on the main server, acting as a WINS server, to manage the list of connected computers. However, when a resident computer is badly configured (ie no wins server

I've been running samba servers with 200+ W98 machines for some time. I'm changing to W2k and everything was going fine. I've upgraded 40 boxes. One W2k box has started announcing itself as a local master browser for one of the workgroups. A samba server thinks it is master, forcing election. Samba will stop being the LMB for about 3 minutes and then will re-establish itself as

I?m a PhD student at the University of Warsaw, and have started using R. In many books they specify to use <- instead of = when assigning values, and this is also mentioned in older posts on the R website. However, it seams to me that some update has occured, becuase I continously get the same result wether I use <- or =. I would be extremely helpful for any answer to this. = seams more

I'm a little unclear about something. I want my Linux box to be the Local Browse Master -- so that the machine that's "on" all the time is the one that other computers look to. Is it correct that I want in my Global Settings: wins support = yes os level = 65 (or some higher number) And should my Windows XP workstations have the Linux box as the Wins Server? Or should I

even for people who didn't like the outcome of the US elections this year, it must have been a joy to see all the nice (and not so nice) graphs that were shown.

hi, when i give samba a workgroup name with more than 15 characters [the limit for netbios names], nmbd is unable to participate in browse master elections. it appears that parts of internal samba code honor 16 characters and parts only honor 15. details: i used a workgroup name of nodomain.nowhere, 16 characters, on samba 2.2.1a. the samba box was the only member of this workgroup on the
